The GMAC Flapjack

Ok guys, I definitely have to give this one to the Mrs! She is always thinking up new ideas and has a real talent with baking! She made this recipe up by combining a few others she knew already. Luckily for us she let GMAC Fitness have the recipe and allowed us to share it to the world. They look great, taste even better, and best of all keep you full between meals! Try one good (bar sized) chunk between meals every other day and see what you think? Best part is this will keep well in the fridge for a week or so.
